Dutch energy companies Alfen and SemperPower have unveiled plans for what they claim will be the battery storage system with the largest capacity ever built in the Netherlands.
The battery storage facility in Moerdijk is the second battery storage facility to be built by RWE in the Netherlands: the company started construction of a battery storage facility in Eemshaven at the beginning of the year with an installed capacity of 35 MW and a storage capacity of 41 MWh.
Construction is underway on the battery energy storage system (BESS) which will be located beside a transformer station in Dronten, linked to the Windplan Groen wind power plant, where the electricity is brought together in a closed distribution system.
Image: RWE. Multinational utility and independent power producer (IPP) RWE has started building its first battery energy storage system (BESS) project in the Netherlands. The Germany-headquartered company announced the start of construction on the BESS at its Eemshaven biomass and gas power plant complex, near Groningen, last week (8 February).
The company has now started construction of its first utility-scale Dutch battery storage project with an installed power capacity of 35 megawatts (MW) and a storage capacity of 41 megawatt-hours (MWh). A total of 110 lithium-ion battery racks will be installed at RWE’s Eemshaven power plant on an area of around 3,000 square metres.
RWE is expanding its battery storage business with an innovative technology for grid stability. The company has begun construction of an ultra-fast battery storage system with an installed capacity of 7.5 megawatts (MW) and a storage capacity of 11 megawatt hours (MWh) on the site of its power plant in Moerdijk, in the Netherlands.
The global solar storage container market is experiencing explosive growth, with demand increasing by over 200% in the past two years. Pre-fabricated containerized solutions now account for approximately 35% of all new utility-scale storage deployments worldwide. North America leads with 40% market share, driven by streamlined permitting processes and tax incentives that reduce total project costs by 15-25%. Europe follows closely with 32% market share, where standardized container designs have cut installation timelines by 60% compared to traditional built-in-place systems. Asia-Pacific represents the fastest-growing region at 45% CAGR, with China's manufacturing scale reducing container prices by 18% annually. Emerging markets in Africa and Latin America are adopting mobile container solutions for rapid electrification, with typical payback periods of 3-5 years. Major projects now deploy clusters of 20+ containers creating storage farms with 100+MWh capacity at costs below $280/kWh.
Technological advancements are dramatically improving solar storage container performance while reducing costs. Next-generation thermal management systems maintain optimal operating temperatures with 40% less energy consumption, extending battery lifespan to 15+ years. Standardized plug-and-play designs have reduced installation costs from $80/kWh to $45/kWh since 2023. Smart integration features now allow multiple containers to operate as coordinated virtual power plants, increasing revenue potential by 25% through peak shaving and grid services. Safety innovations including multi-stage fire suppression and gas detection systems have reduced insurance premiums by 30% for container-based projects. New modular designs enable capacity expansion through simple container additions at just $210/kWh for incremental capacity. These innovations have improved ROI significantly, with commercial projects typically achieving payback in 4-7 years depending on local electricity rates and incentive programs. Recent pricing trends show 20ft containers (1-2MWh) starting at $350,000 and 40ft containers (3-6MWh) from $650,000, with volume discounts available for large orders.
